Whether it’s Granite or Quartz
We’ll help you get the countertop you’ve always dreamed of.
Granite
Granite is the best known igneous rock found at earth’s surface. Granite is:
Hard enough to resist abrasions,
Strong enough to bear significant weight,
Durable enough for the outdoors, and
Accepts a brilliant polish.
With over 100 colour options, Natural Stone city offers the biggest selection of granite slabs in Southern Ontario, from standard colours to exciting exotic options.
We carefully select each of our internationally-shipped slabs, and customers are more than welcome to visit any of our well-stocked locations to browse the options.
Granite’s natural beauty and elegance has no parallel - every new shipment of slabs we receive brings a wide range of unique colours and patterns.
Every slab is one of a kind, so keep in mind that samples may vary from each other.
Quartz
Quartz is by far the most popular engineered stone.
It is a man-made product created primarily from natural materials at a ratio of around 93% ground quartz and 7% resins and pigments, all combined into durable and non-porous slabs.
By varying their recipe and colour pigments, manufacturers can offer a large variety of colours and beautiful, modern patterns.
Being a man-made product, we do not recommend quartz for fireplaces or outside applications because it is not as resistant to high heat or sun exposure.
Quartzite
Quartzite is another popular and durable natural stone that is similar to granite in its uniqueness and beauty.
It is a metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz, and formed when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by heat and high pressure.
Quartzite is a natural product with exciting patterns and colours similar to granite - in fact, the care and maintenance is very similar to granite too.
